Slaughter

The breath in the mountain becomes dense as the dare wolves surrounded the members of the ghost party. A leader-level beast entered the scene and shocked the whole party. The beasts were also categorized into various levels according to their development and behavior. Not all the beasts will leave in packs but they follow the same rule however they live.

When the beasts were mature and strong enough to join the pack to hunt they were called followers. They were the least strong other than the pups. As for the beasts living without packs will follow their parents at this stage.

When they gain experience to hunt and fight and there were very good in ambush then they are called hunter level. The beasts at this level get chased away by their parents if they were not a living-in-pack-type beast.

Ambush is not always successful and sometimes there comes a food fight to survive. When they can successfully fight without the fear of death they were called soldiers. When hunters surround those beasts they won't get scared instead they would become angrier.

Leader-type beasts were the nemesis of hunters. The strength of these beasts doesn't lie in themselves but their pack mates. Their intelligence will surpass the average human and they control their packmates. As for the beasts which not live in packs would control the whole situation with their control ability or with some sorts of skills such as doppelganger and illusion. Other than high-end teamwork or ultimate brutal strength there is no way to kill a leader-level beast.

The wolves which attacked in an unordered way suddenly changed their phase and surrounded them. They were patiently waiting for the order from their leader waiting for the people to lower their guards.

"Its intelligence is terrifying, but I don't give a sh** about it," said Wei Li.

"No don't move. Don't take your eyes from them" shouted Harry in a commanding tone.

Suddenly William who was standing at the center of them started to scream in pain. The sound of his bones getting crushed resounded towards everyone including the beasts. When the members of the ghost party asked out William to report his behavior. The leader of the pack ordered the wolves to attack but no one expected a huge beast to help the people out. The people of the village started to cry witnessing the scene. The members of the party stared at it with wide eyes.

There stood a creature of three meters in height. The mouth was extended and the nose became sharp. The limbs were filled with muscles and tissues which implied an enormous strength. The hands were large as much as if they can hold a person in his waist. It had extended sharp claws and a brushy tail.

When the people of the village stared at him in fear and excitement. William rushed towards the leader of the pack. Recognizing the threat the leader surrounded himself with his minions. William would hold a wolf in its neck and dig its flesh with his long claws or bite it to death or sometimes crushed it with his brute strength. Seeing him fighting, the party members under the command of Ayla also started to fight.

Darius crushed the beasts whichever came near him. Ayla and harry opened wounds on the wolves' bodies and Wei Lin used fire and earth magic to make his part. But the situation didn't seem to get stable. Even though William was fighting with full strength he couldn't get near the leader-level beast. The headcount of the beasts got increased as the beasts appeared out of nowhere. New beasts followed the howl of the leader-level wolf and came for its aid. When they learned they were in a dire situation the atmosphere became tense.

Suddenly the sky started to roar with lightning and thunder. The beasts other than the leader beast were scared for a moment. Lightning and thunder invaded the mountain where the hunt was on. After a few seconds, droplets started to fall off from the sky. The number of droplets multiplied now and then. It became rain but the roaring of lightning and thunder never have stopped but have increased. The loud noise of lightning and thunder invaded the ears of every living being on the mountain. It even send a chill in the spine for the people who were fighting against the dare wolves. They were scared because they felt the unusual change in the environment is something dangerous.

After a moment of rain, the beasts began to scream in pain. The beasts couldn't take it anymore as their cry heard the whole mountain. The water droplets that fall over them began to hurt them as it was very hot for them to take. The beasts felt like they were cooked up alive. The way the beasts struggled and screamed was really terrible. It was a counter massacre.

The leader of the beasts didn't feel anything and was confused about what happened. Suddenly it felt a cold sensation in the neck area near the lower jaw. When it realized that half of its lower jaw is missing it couldn't help but scream in pain. It was the werewolf, he managed to give a deadly strike when the leader was wondering about the situation. The other wolves which resisted the hot droplets of the rain were killed by the members of the ghost party.

The people of the Lassi village and the cultivators who fought by their side were unharmed by the rain of hot water. They didn't feel anything strange in it.

"Why were they crying to take a bath?... It can remove the bloodstain" wondered Darius and looked towards others who were thinking the same.

"Looks like you took a bath now after years," said Wei Li in a flippant tone which annoyed Darius and they both bickered like children. William was still in his werewolf form and was inquiring about the corpses of the wolves. He went near the corpses and started to feel their smell to find what is wrong with them. Aveda went to the people of the village and enquired about them and comforted them.

Not very long after that Harry who was taking a knee on the ground and inquiring about the corpse of a low leveled beast found out the strange reason. After all, he has seen something like them before. He saw black marks on the body of the beast.

On the other side, Lin Cian was sleeping on the ground with June sitting on his side and caressing his head wondering about the things that happened.
